RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

Seems Greece has started doing what they need to do.
Burning down banks and taking over media stations.. Shit getting real.
Seems that the Greek government tried to pass another bailout over the heads of the people in Greece and once they found out(a bailout they didn't want) then hell broke loose.
Yeah throwing a malatov feels good but it alienates any possible supporters and will end in a crushed movement and worse tyranny justified by protecting us from the anarchists.

Meh increased tyranny will come from our government anyway.
Besides its pretty much been proven the united states arms dummy terrorists with bobo equipment and lets them into the united states so they can arrest them and use them as examples anyway.
Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

What makes you think being an Anarchist is a bad thing?

TRIGGER WARNING: THIS TRIGGER WARNING CONTAINS TRIGGER WARNINGS!
Dear Tumblrites:Despite your wrongly self-diagnosedPTSD, no line ofscientific evidencesuggests people can be triggered over theinternet. Triggering works through thesenses(i.e. smell, taste, touch, vision, hearing.) but it goes throughreal time; if you're not experiencing it in real life as it'sACTUALLY HAPPENINGin yourACTUALlife, youCANNOTbe triggered. The only exception to this is if you have aseizure, but then again, that's triggered byepilepsy(i.e. rapidly-changing flashing lights)NOT PTSD. Remembering a bad incident is NOT the same thing as having aflashback. When you remember, youthink; when youflashback,youfeel.

I remember when the G20 summit was going on in Toronto. I was reading up and watching videos about the how a black bloc works and laughing at videos of burning police cars not realizing that there were people who actually didn't support that!
These are the dipshits who think that if we protest enough with peace that we can change things. I call bullshit. Even if some of those things were staged as a media event by the police as a reason to crack down on these "Violent protests" (The vandalized cop cars, smashed store fronts) That just gives all the more reason to retaliate with violence. They aren't afraid to do it why the fuck should we? If we had some serious riots over all the shit our government puts us through we could at least scare them. Shake em up a bit and remind them who is actually in charge.
I don't think such extreme measures are necessary at the moment at least in the U.S. but there could very well come a time for the people to rise up, and when that time comes I hope they do.

Unfortunately most self-proclaimed Anarchists are wanna-be faggots that just blow shit up, graffiti small mom and pop shops and shout FIGHT THE COORPORATE POWERS MAN! They of course don't know a fucking thing about the non-aggression principle or how a voluntary society would function. Probably a big reason why rebellion is given such a negative image that people who actually do care are looked at poorly too.
